Sec.5-273-60. Continuation, adjournment or postponement of hearings

(a) In the discretion of the board, the hearing may be continued from day to day or adjourned to a later date, or to a different place, by announcement thereof at the hearing by the board or by other appropriate notice designated by the board.

(b) Where the board has scheduled an initial hearing, a party may within ten (10) days of receipt of the hearing notice request one postponement per case by: (1) Obtaining from the opposing party an agreement for the postponement, (2) confirming a new mutually acceptable hearing date, and (3) notifying the board of the agreement to postpone and the new mutually acceptable hearing date. Unless the parties have agreed on a postponement and a new hearing date and have so notified the board within ten (10) days, the request for postponement shall be granted by the board only where the requesting party or parties have demonstrated to the board that there is sufficient cause for such postponement.
